      Yes but I can't use them because I had another surgery that went allow baths. I had Rectrcele surgery to tie up the colon. Showers only. Today is post op day 8. BM still hurts and burn. Still have stitches and very tender. How much longer before normal?

    Not sure, but I have heard classic surgery takes longer to recover than stapled hemorrhoidectomy. Recover soon!

      Yes today is day 8 post op. BM this morning even though it was very soft it still burned and hurt for most of the morning. I had to go back to bed and wait for pain to subside. Had to take Motin again to help. Still very sore. This is a very sensitive surgery. I will be so thankful when this is healed. It will be worth it I'm sure. Just takes time.
